Academic Appeals Board

The Academic Appeals Board will be chaired by a faculty member elected by vote of the faculty each year, who will serve in a nonvoting capacity except in cases of a tie vote. If the chair is involved with the case, the chair must recuse themselves and another chair will be appointed by the vice president for academic affairs (VPAA) or the assistant VPAA, if the VPAA is involved in the case. In addition to the chair, four additional full-time faculty members, not involved in the case, will serve on the board. The student will select one or two full-time faculty members to sit on the board. It is the student’s option to select one or two. Faculty members may decline to serve. The chair will contact members of the volunteer full-time faculty pool for two or three additional members. No members of the board should have involvement with the academic dishonesty case.
